management regulations in Taiwan stipulate that playground facilities may follow national and international standards such as CNS, America's ASTM, the regional standard EN, and ISO, but most inspection bodies in Taiwan accredited by TAF only certify CNS- or ASTM-compliant facilities. As a result, playground designers and manufacturers who introduce playground facilities that meet EN or ISO standards are not able to obtain inspection reports that comply with the regulations. 117. The NHRC, based on the Control Yuan investigation report 89 and discussions with government agencies, learned that the Ministry of Culture (MOC) and the MOE have subsidized the production of children's programs. The MOE provided a total of more than NT$ 60 million in subsidies for children's program production from 2018-2020, accounting for nearly 20% of the broadcasting budget. Meanwhile, the MOE awarded over $35 million in subsidies from 2017-2020. The report, however, points out that aside from children's channels on satellite TV, domestically produced children's programs on broadcast TV's and satellite TV's generalist channels account for only 6.53% and 2.29% of the total broadcast hours in Taiwan. 118. Recommendations: (1) Agencies that provide guidance and inspection of playground facilities should expeditiously increase the number of vendors that can perform inspection following EN and ISO standards, and urge city/county governments to improve and inspect playgrounds through giving guidance to the entities that construct the playgrounds, in order to comprehensively examine these spaces. The Government should also raise awareness of the CRC among playground facility designers so that design stakeholders understand and value the diverse developmental needs of children with different physical and mental capacity to fulfill their right to play. The NHRC also calls on the Government to promote the right of children of all mental and physical capacities to participate and make decisions in the planning, design, development, implementation and monitoring of policies. (2) In terms of children's programs, NHRC expects the Government to not only subsidize domestically self-produced programs, but also expand the diversity of program genres so that they include 89 The Control Yuan investigation report approved on May 13, 2021.
